My brain, as soon as it hears the word "multiverse": So we know, because of Forever Red and Once a Ranger that the first 15 series (MMPR to OO) take place in the same reality, and RPM has to be seperate. Super Megaforce probably brings Samurai and Megaforce into the same continuity, given the presence of Casey et al. DC is probably seperate, because they screwed up and got their Earth sucked into a Black Hole. There's also the parallel reality where the original MMPR movie exists, as well as the MMPR 2017 movie. Masked Rider is simultaneously within the "main" reality, and also a TV show in Time Force.
Basically, I'm waiting to see where they go with this. I'm sure, no matter what happens, we can handwave it away due to Time Travel. Dino Charge and RPM are considered separate Universes! The Original MMPR Movie and the 2017 Movie are left in limbo (thus far not even shown in "Shattered Grid")! Of note, if the 2017 Movie is in "Multiverse Continuity", then does that ret-con the Amy and JDF cameos into "Dimension-Hopping Tommy and Kimberly"!?!? Jungle Fury and RPM might be similar as they both have "Jungle Karma Pizza", and Overdrive may or may not be part of RPM since Tenya held what looked like an Overdrive Red Helmet (though that might not actually mean anything)! DC is likely separate, and Masked Rider only pertains to "A Friend in Need" because there are differences between that and the start of his own show! Samurai and Megaforce are together alongside MMPR at least, especially with Bulk and Skull in Samurai! The rest of the franchise is splintered between fans and their interpretation of "Singular Continuity with Dimensional Exceptions" or "Multiverse" and up for grabs! Shattered Grid and "Dimensions in Danger" will effectively make things a Multiverse free-for-all, for better or worse! |

Considering I was just binging History of Power Rangers just now, a lot of things Linkara mentioned about plot holes arising if most of the Power Rangers series were part of a single universe, I guess this new canon will likely fix that. I actually am curious to see his input on this episode once he gets to doing Ninja Steel after the series concludes.
Though there are timelines where nearly all is connected, there are also 'slightly different' alternate versions too. Makes it easier to create a consistent ranger timeline of all where some new events and history can be slotted in. Especially since SPD didn't set itself far enough in the future. SPD tv version is effectively an alternate reality now where tech developments changed after LG and LSR at roughly about Dinothunder or after Operation Overdrive. New Movie universe on the other hand is an entirely new Multiverse/continuity family. Quote:
New Movie is part of an entirely different multiverse not connected to TV/comic. Those cameos are only that universe doppelgangers/alternate selves. So movie won't cross over to comic/TV main. Last edited by Librarian; 08-10-2018 at 04:07 PM.. |

Do we count the mobile "Legacy Wars" Universe as a part of the Multiverse where MMPR-Ninja Steel combat each other, alongside 2017 Movie Versions and Street Fighters!?!?

This is fine, makes sense and opens up creative freedom without a bunch of continuity baggage to drag around. They haven't taken advantage of being set in the same universe in any meaningful way since the mid-90s so it was something that should have happened much earlier.

I'm fine with the concept of a multiverse. It explains why some ranger teams just disappear once their series ends but they don't lose their powers. It can now be explained as "They're still active, but we're just not in their world anymore."
Also explains how the world isn't privy to what Power Rangers are, despite a shared universe making it seem like they'd be pretty widely known by this point.

Honestly, we all knew something like this was coming. The Sentai model (seperate world unless otherwise stated) has been going since Lightspeed Rescue at the earliest, and while it's annoying as fans when we've put effort into reconciling everything into one continuity, it's just not feasible creatively. Sure, I like the idea of everything working in one 'verse, but apparently the studios don't, and that's what matters.

I'm somewhat worried since it's just 1 episode it'll be extremely rushed. Yeah, Forever Red was one episode, but you can tell it would have benefited more as a 2-parter. Also because Forever Red was written well. Ninja Steel isn't exactly written well.

How come no one has mentioned what in the hell is lord drayvon. Is that a misspelled drakkon or someone new altogether. If it's tied to shattered grid, let it be known, I've been thinking that for months now. I think I asked that question to trekkieb47 on rcph a few times and I believe I also asked shuki and Chris on Geek each week. I'm soooooo hyped for this episode and shattered grid, and all of it is happening around my birthday (22) and I'm the happiest man-child because of it.
